Kissing Your Picture

(album: Mel Tillis And The Statesiders - 1975)

Kissing your picture is so cold
Pictures have no arms that I can hold
Living with a heartache for a friend
Wondering if I'll ever hold you in my arms again

A thousand blue thoughts every day
Looks like my heartache's here to stay
New lips offer me no thrill
Only your lips ever will

Kissing your picture is so cold
Pictures have no arms that I can hold
Living with a heartache for a friend
Wondering if I'll ever hold you in my arms again

I turn your picture to the wall
If I fall I could forget it all
But from your love I can't be free
And this picture's all that's left for me

Kissing your picture is so cold
Pictures have no arms that I can hold
Living with a heartache for a friend
Wondering if I'll ever hold you in my arms again
Wondering if I'll ever hold you in my arms again
